French Jews take $50 million action against Twitter for its ‘anti-Semitism’

Student group accuses global networking site of failing to respond to court order to hand over data to help identify authors of anti-Semitic tweets

A Jewish student group has announced it was taking further legal action against Twitter over the global networking site’s failure to respond to a French court order to hand over data to help identify the authors of anti-Semitic tweets.

“Twitter is playing the indifference card in not respecting the decision of January 24,” when a Paris civil court gave the company two weeks to hand over the requested information, said Jonathan Hayoun, president of France’s Union of Jewish Students (UEJF), on Wednesday.

“In protecting the anonymity of the author of these tweets it is making itself an accomplice and offering a highway for racists and anti-Semites,” he added.

The French Jewish students group said it was taking legal action against Twitter and its CEO Dick Costolo.

The association is claiming €38.5 million ($50 million) in damages which they would hand over to the Shoah Memorial fund, according to the text of the summons for Twitter to appear before the civil court’s criminal division.

UEJF lawyer Stephane Lilti said the group had filed the summons on Wednesday.

Questioned by AFP, Twitter said it was in discussions with the Jewish student group but that “unfortunately they are more interested in these grand gestures than in finding an adequate international procedure to obtain the requested information.”

“We will appeal tomorrow (Thursday)” to the French court, Twitter said in reference to the January 24 decision.

It added that the French court had only notified it of the earlier ruling “a few days ago.”

On Sunday, French President Hollande called for the names of the authors of the anti-Semitic tweets to be released, in line with the court’s decision. The union had been pressing Twitter to exercise tighter control of what appeared on its Internet site following a deluge of anti-Semitic messages posted under the hashtag #unbonjuif (#agoodjew).

Twitter later removed some of the offending tweets.

Last October, Twitter suspended the account of a neo-Nazi group in Germany following a request from the government in Berlin.

That was the first time that the US firm had applied a policy known as “country-withheld content”, which allows it to block an account at the request of state authorities.

Twitter sued for $50 million for not naming authors of anti-Semitic tweets

French student union criticizes Twitter as being indifference to racist and hateful speech toward Jews; American company argues it adheres to U.S. laws, but judge says comments by French users are subject to local, stricter legislation.

Haaretz

The Union of Jewish French Students sued Twitter for about $50 million for failing to honor a court ruling to identify users who posted anti-Semitic hate speech.

The union, or UEJF, filed the lawsuit on Wednesday with a Paris correctional tribunal, according to the French news agency AFP.

UEJF President Jonathan Hayoun said his organization filed the lawsuit because the California-based website has “ignored” a civil court ruling from January 24 that Twitter must identify people who broke France’s laws against hate speech. The ruling came following an earlier UEJF lawsuit.

As an American company, Twitter argued in court that it adheres to U.S. laws and is protected by the First Amendment and its broad free speech liberties. But the French judge said that comments by Internet users in France are subject to France’s stricter legislation against racist and hateful expression.

“Twitter is playing the indifference card and does not respect the ruling,” Hayoun told AFP on Wednesday. “They have resolved to protect the anonymity of the authors of these tweets and have made themselves accomplices to racists and anti-Semites.”

UEJF sued Twitter last year shortly after the hashtag “unBonJuif,” French for “aGoodJew,” became the third most popular on French Twitter. A hashtag is a phrase that when preceded by the symbol # is used to index relevant tweets.

Many users posted Holocaust jokes and calls to kill Jews under #UnBoJuif.UEJF said it wants to deposit any damages from a Twitter suit with an organization working to preserve the memory of the Holocaust, AFP reported.

Hey counterfeit ‘Jews’; NEWSFLASH: New Study Reveals Most ‘Jewish’ People are Khazars and not semitic. How many times must this be repeated??? It seems Author Koestler wrote a book called ‘The Thirteenth Tribe’ over thirty years ago. Then the Professor of History at University of Tel Aviv; Shlomo Sand wrote a book ‘The Invention of the Jewish People’ just a couple of years ago. You really ought to get yourselves out of that crippling state of DENIAL and stop your insolent whining. The world is moving on without you and your lies.

“The association is claiming €38.5 million ($50 million) in damages which they would hand over to the Shoah Memorial fund,” Like this Spielberg Media Propaganda Machine needs anymore Shekels! And yes the Bitchy Little F-g pic is very appropriate! For these stupid cry babies!
They better be careful in wanting the names of those who committed the Ultimate Crime Of Free Speech. (Translation – Saying BOO! To the Jews.) They just might find out it is there own fellow tribesmen! LOL! NOW THAT WOULD REALLY BE A HOOT!

Meet the Whinebergs, a group of Fifth Column con-artists who represent the most racist, anti-Semitic psycho-killers in the history of Humanity. If these perpetually whining liars win the lawsuit against Twitter they should, in good conscience, actually donate the money to the museum that I am opening – “The Christian-Muslim Holocaust Museum and Memorial” dedicated to the very somber remembrance of the 55 million orthodox Russian Christians murdered by the Godless Jewish Bolsheviks; the 2 million Armenian Christians slaughtered under the direction and supervision of the Donmeh Jews of the Salonika Committee (see the excellent history by Christopher Jon Bjerknes, “The Jewish Genocide of Armenian Christians”); and the millions of Iraqis, Lebanese, Palestinians, and Iranians slaughtered over the last 93 years since the time these highly deluded and mentally ill people began arriving in PALESTINE from Europe. No one, and I mean no one can even come close to competing with the descendants of the Khazars for mass murder.

For anyone who has seriously studied the history of Germany after the publication of Karl Marx’s “Communist Manifesto” in 1848, it is plain as day that these perpetual traitors had been waging multiple revolutions and acts of sedition against the German state and its citizens since the very month of Marx’s initial publication. Hitler, who freed his nation, post-Weimar, from the infernal usury and plotting of a small minority of wealthy and influential seditionists, is now demonized by these same pathological liars and con-artists for having the patriotic balls to round up these enemies of EVERY STATE in order to save his country and his people from their genocidal clutches. And Hitler was a total pussy! He put them in LABOR CAMPS with cantinas, theatres, swimming pools, art studios, and soccer fields. He even gave them administrative control over the beautiful walled town of Theresienstadt. For those who have read even the first volume of Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s “Gulag Archipelago,” the allied-supported DEATH CAMPS of Stalin had no such accommodating luxuries. And these ungrateful dogs whine, “The soccer fields were not large enough and the camp’s cantina ran out of my favorite cigarettes. The Nazis are so oppressive. Boo fucking Hoo.” They should save their tears for the very future when Russian, Chinese, and Iranian missiles under the guidance of God Himself will level every major Israeli city, as in “not one single stone will remain standing,” and the world will party like it’s 2013!

Perhaps we should sue this little French student group to reveal all the names of the Irgun and Stern Gang terror groups in Palestine who cold bloodedly murdered British soldiers in the 1940s as young Brits gave their lives in WWII. The “Jewish Century,” as they like to call it, began in 1913, and by 2014 it will be over for good.

Would these authors be considered anti-semitic by the French Jewish students?

GEORGE WASHINGTON, They (the Jews) work more effectively against us, than the enemy’s armies. They are a hundred times more dangerous to our liberties and the great cause we are engaged in … It is much to be lamented that each state, long ago, has not hunted them down as pests to society and the greatest enemies we have to the happiness of America.
Back To Top
THOMAS JEFFERSON Dispersed as the Jews are, they are still from one nation, foreign to the land they live in.
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN. I fully agree with General Washington, that we must protect this young nation from an insidious influence and impenetration. That menace, gentlemen, is the Jews. In whatever country Jews have settled in any great number, they have lowered its moral tone; depreciated its commercial integrity; have segregated themselves and have not been assimilated; have sneered at and tried to undermine the Christian religion upon which that nation is founded, by objecting to its restrictions; have built up a state within the state; and when opposed have tried to strangle that country to death financially, as in the case of Spain and Portugal. For over 1,700 years, the Jews have been bewailing their sad fate in that they have been exiled from their homeland, as they call Palestine. But, gentlemen, did the world give it to them in fee simple, they would at once find some reason for not returning. Why? Because they are vampires, and vampires do not live on vampires. They cannot live only among themselves. They must subsist on Christians and other peoples not of their race.
If you do not exclude them from these United States, in this Constitution, in less than 200 years they will have swarmed here in such great numbers that they will dominate and devour the land and change our form of government, for which we Americans have shed our blood, given our lives, our substance and jeopardized our liberty.
If you do not exclude them, in less than 200 years our descendants will be working in the fields to furnish them substance, while they will be in the counting houses rubbing their hands. I warn you, gentlemen, if you do not exclude Jews for all time, your children will curse you in your graves. Jews, gentlemen, are Asiatics, let them be born where they will or how many generations they are away from Asia, they will never be otherwise. Their ideas do not conform to an American’s, and will not even though they live among us ten generations. A leopard cannot change its spots. Jews are Asiatics, are a menace to this country if permitted entrance, and should be excluded by this Constitutional Convention.

Would it be possible to enumerate the number of Jew organizations on earth??? Jezuz, these maggots never sleep; 24/7 – 365 and 6,000,000. Never forget that; 6,000,000! NOT 5,999,999, or you’ll be a “Holocaust” denier.

Well, people have freedom of speech. As long as they’re not physically harming you, there is no crime. So why do you need to know who someone is merely for their opinions? You have no right to people’s personal private information just because they don’t like you.
